Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

Virtue, Civilization And The Restitution Of Man, Angus J.L. Menuge Nov 1999

Virtue, Civilization And The Restitution Of Man, Angus J.L. Menuge

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

One of the greatest issues facing modern civilization to day is the evasion of character formation in individuals. The value of personal virtue is not something apart from public responsibility, but intrinsically intertwined. In his various books and writings C.S. Lewis reveals four areas where he observed this decline: the failure of modern ethics, scientism, educational trends, and the rise of propaganda as a surrogate for moral influence.

Past The Ravening Lion Of Presentism: C.S. Lewis In The Next Century, Richard Hill Nov 1999

Past The Ravening Lion Of Presentism: C.S. Lewis In The Next Century, Richard Hill

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

One of C.S. Lewis’s pet peeves was the phenomenon he called “chronological snobbery,” a concept other writers have termed “presentism.” The notion involves the smug certainty that today’s idea on anything are automatically improvements on what people in the past thought on the same subjects. This paper examines the concepts of presentism and how it relates to Lewis and current culture.

In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis calls the natural, moral law of the universe by the name Tao.

The Necessity Of Doubt In George Macdonald's Within And Without, James Washick Nov 1999

The Necessity Of Doubt In George Macdonald's Within And Without, James Washick

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

While the Scottish author George MacDonald is currently remembered as a writer of fiction and fantasy, in his own time he was well known for his poetry as well, even preferring to think of himself as a poet rather than a novelist. This paper examines his poetry, focusing on the theme of doubt and its role in the life of a Christian.
